Group spiritual direction offers a unique introduction where participants learn what it means to be listened to and loved by others, so that they can learn to listen more attentively to God in their daily lives and be used by God to spread God’s grace and love throughout the world. "Spiritual direction leads you to an awakening of the soul." (Alice Fryling, author of Seeking God Together)


Immanuel Journaling and Interactive Gratitude (2 hr)

Immanuel means that God with us. God is always present and desires to interact with us in all situations. However, we often forget this truth or we are not really aware of it. Learning to perceive God's presence, that he is truly good and perseveres in doing good for us, Immanuel journaling and interactive gratitude is a simple but profound method for improving our awareness of God's presence in both our thoughts and lives. Other benefits include healing emotional wounds, enhancing character and building community. (Jim Wilder, author of Living From the Heart Jesus Gave You)

This is a chance to separate out from daily activities and responsibilities and to free oneself from the addiction to and distraction of noise. This day is dedicated to experiencing God’s transforming presence. “To open oneself to God in the place beyond words.” (Ruth Haley Barton, author of Invitation to Silence and Solitude)

Spiritual Rhythms and the Enneagram

The Enneagram is a personality tool that offers profound insight into our heart motivations. These motivations foster attitudes and behaviors that affect our personality and relationships. The Enneagram provides a way of seeing both the beauty of how God made you and the sin, or addictions to self, that mess up your life. Partnering with the Holy Spirit the Enneagram becomes an effective way to discover something of the beautiful person we always are in the mind of God. As the Spirit brings awareness, the Enneagram offers paths to transformation in marriage, parenting, work, ministry, and your relationship to God. (Adele and Doug Calhoun, authors of Spiritual Rhythms and the Enneagram)

 

Note: All retreats can be customized and locations can vary depending on groups and organizations. 

 

A retreat is a time and space set apart to be intentional about one's relationship with God. A retreat is about listening, waiting, receiving, and being. It is not about getting anything done. A retreat is about slowing down enough to be caught by God. A retreat gives us the opportunity to spend time generously in the presence of God…provides a setting where we can experience God's unique and effective care for our soul…encourages us to be still and experience God and experience ourselves as uniquely loved by God.”


—Larry Warner (Author of Journey with Jesus)
